dynamic dns (dyndns) update client that tries to be extensible, re-usable and efficient on network resources
Project description
Dyndnsc - dynamic dns update client
dyndnsc is both a script to be used directly as well as a re-usable and hopefully extensible python package for doing updates over http to dynamic dns services. This package currently focuses on supporting http based update protocols.
Examples
Basic example that should fit most peoples needs:
$ dyndnsc --hostname test.dyndns.com --userid bob --password=fub4r
Are you using Miredo and want to assign a hostname dynamically to your ipv6 tunnel?
$ dyndnsc --hostname test.dyndns.com --userid bob --method=teredo
Compatible protocols
Feel free to send pull requests to add more.
Compatible services
This list is incomplete, since there are for example a lot of dyndns2 compatible services out there, but we are not keeping a full list here. Also, due to current limitations in Dyndnsc (#4) it is not yet possible to use an arbitrary service with a compatible protocol (yet).
Installation
$ pip install dyndnsc
or, if you want to work using the source tarball:
$ python setup.py install
Requirements
Python 2.6, 2.7, 3.2 or 3.3+
Documentation
Documentation is available at http://dyndnsc.readthedocs.org/.
Status
dyndnsc is currently still in alpha stage, which means that any interface can still change at any time. For this to change, it shall be sufficient to have documented use of this package which will necessitate stability (i.e. community process).
